Whether you’re a student or a parent, college can be overwhelming at times. I’m talking about search, selection, and the first year in college. MOST students & their parents don’t know what’s coming. No one tells you. That’s why I created Best First Year. I want to help you:
> Reduce stress & navigate college search & selection
> Prepare for life in college (before arriving on campus)
> Transition to life in college (AND graduate in 4 years)

I’m Harlan Cohen, New York Times bestselling author of the #1 book on college life, TEDx Speaker (watch here), and America’s Top College Life Expert. I help students and parents ease anxiety and navigate change. I call it getting comfortable with the uncomfortable. It all started after my first year in college. I never saw it coming. No one told me college could be so uncomfortable. I struggled to make new friends. I had a hard time getting involved. I didn’t know how to create a life for myself. I got impatient. Eventually, I transferred. I wasted time and emotion. It cost me an extra semester of college. I soon realized that I wasn’t alone. Over the past 20 years, I’ve written books on college life, spoken on over 500 college campuses, and helped millions of students, parents, and educators ease anxiety and simplify life in college. I’m grateful to be in your corner.
